Traditional techniques alone are not enough to attract the modern consumer. Today’s campaigns require interdisciplinary strategies and a deeper understanding of what the customers needs and wants are.

Our MSc in Digital Marketing & Analytics was the first programme to blend marketing with the digital analytical skills that employers crave. It remains the only programme of its kind in London, a thriving city of international brands and global campaigns.

We will prepare you to become a confident and effective marketing practitioner. You will develop an in-depth understanding of trusted techniques for strategy, planning and delivery. In addition, you will be introduced to new approaches and emerging tools that provide greater insight into how customers behave, and how to locate and reach them

The programme will provide practical insights into:

Creating marketing campaigns

Data analytics

Digital marketing

Marketing strategy and planning

Privacy and ethics

Profiling and customer behaviour

Social media campaigns

Understanding markets

Wordpress and website creation

Our course is designed to be hands-on, giving you practical tasks which show you how techniques are applied in research and industry. In our seminars and class discussions, you will be encouraged to think creatively and strategically and develop solutions. Today's marketers are expected to understand, locate and reach their intended audiences, rather than just expect the customer to find them.

In addition to receiving support and guidance from experienced tutors and supervisors, you will also be able to seek advice from our guest speakers/ industry experts based in and around London's thriving Silicon Roundabout. Our Central London location means that you will be on the doorstep of innovative startups and thriving marketing firms, giving you an unmatched insight into how marketing is evolving, and how your new skills can add value to businesses.

Students may start the programme in either January or September. If you begin in September, the programme is 12 months, while a programme starting in January will last for 16 months.

On our programme, greater emphasis is placed on interaction and activity-based learning. All our staff are actively engaged in the areas of digital marketing and analytics, either as researchers or as practitioners.

Guest speakers will further enhance the applied nature of the programme and help to develop your understanding of digital marketing and analytics in industry. You will also work with digital experts to develop practical skills in analytics software such as SAS and SPSS, and with marketing managers and agency staff to improve your understanding of marketing decision-making in the world of work.

Many assignments take the form of live briefs, enabling you to experience the kinds of projects that you will be working on as marketing practitioners.

Attending industry events will give you a deeper understanding of the concerns of marketing practitioners and how the practical skills you are learning can be applied in a marketing department or agency.

You will receive 30 hours of contact time weekly in the first term, and 36 in the second. Supervisors are available to discuss project issues during the third term, but you are required to meet for a progress update every two weeks at least.

Outside of class time, you will be expected to pursue your own research into the marketing industry. This includes attending networking events such as Silicon Drinkabout, as well as industry lectures and seminars. Coursework is set outside class, and there is also group work and a reading list.

Calculating fee increases

The University sets tuition fees on an annual basis in line with the University's financial year which runs from 1 August to 31 July

The fees quoted here are for one academic year of study

For students starting their programme in January the programme spans two separate financial year accounting periods. Fees for the different teaching terms are calculated separately in line with fees charged in each financial year

Fees for subsequent years of study are subject to fee inflation

The University aims to keep annual fee increases in line with the University’s cost inflation. The expectation is that this will be no greater than UK consumer price inflation (CPI) plus 3%. There are occasionally variations to this dictated by the costs of running specific programmes or facilities required for our programmes

As a registered charity, all fee increases are subject to approval of the Trustee Board thus ensuring that affordability for our students remains a primary concern in any decisions regarding fee increases
